Your story is your truth. Let's learn how trauma can negatively influence the narrative you tell yourself. Through narrative therapy, and influenced by your journal writing, we will discuss reality versus a negative lens of the information you have scripted in your life.By identifying and challenging problem-saturated stories, individuals can create alternative, empowering narratives that reflect their values, strengths, and goals. Narrative Therapy often involves externalizing problems, exploring unique outcomes, and fostering a sense of agency and hope. It is particularly effective in addressing issues related to identity, trauma, and interpersonal relationships.
Cognitive Restructuring involves identifying irrational or unhelpful thoughts and replacing them with rational, constructive ones. This process includes Identifying cognitive distortions (e.g., catastrophizing, overgeneralization) and Challenging negative thoughts with evidence Developing alternative, and balanced thoughts.
Reality Therapy is an Approach to Empowering Choice and Responsibility. Grounded in choice theory, which emphasizes personal responsibility and the power of making choices to improve one's life. This therapy is focused on the present and future rather than delving deeply into past experiences. It is built on the principle that individuals can control their actions, thoughts, and behaviors, even if they cannot change external circumstances.
